royal caribbean liquor
a friend is going on their first cruise in 15 yrs xmas week on royal
caribbean out of miami. they couldn[t remember the name of the ship! maybe the jewel they think. anyway, he wants to bring JD on board and is trying to learn the best way to do so. in big suitcases, bubble wrap, ziploc etc (they can pack it after their flight) or the carryon luggage. he just doesn't want a 1k bar bill at the end of the week (and that's possible with only JD and various vodka drinks) they're not cheap and are already spending a small fortune on cruise (family of 5, 2 cabins, flights etc) and excursions and has no problemw ith wine in the dining room etc but hates the idea of $5-7 for a drink on his balcony. not sure how RCI is about this type of thing thanks sheree |

The price of the cruise is only the beginning. Once you're onboard the fun
begins for cruise line. This means turning you upside down and shaking you down for every last clam in your pocket, including whatever your credit card may offer. I'm going first class all the way on my land-based excursion and air next time around, drinks included and I'll still have money to throw away at the end. rg "sheree" wrote in message ... a friend is going on their first cruise in 15 yrs xmas week on royal caribbean out of miami. they couldn[t remember the name of the ship! maybe the jewel they think. anyway, he wants to bring JD on board and is trying to learn the best way to do so. in big suitcases, bubble wrap, ziploc etc (they can pack it after their flight) or the carryon luggage. he just doesn't want a 1k bar bill at the end of the week (and that's possible with only JD and various vodka drinks) they're not cheap and are already spending a small fortune on cruise (family of 5, 2 cabins, flights etc) and excursions and has no problemw ith wine in the dining room etc but hates the idea of $5-7 for a drink on his balcony. not sure how RCI is about this type of thing thanks sheree |

Sheree, tell your friend to wrap the bottle securely (as you said, bubble wrap, zip loc bag, in a towel, whatever) or transfer it to an well-wrapped unbreakable container and put it in his suitcase. No problem. He can leave it out in his room and enjoy it as he likes. ~ Peri |

I was going to suggest a way to bring it on board, but you can't easily bring gallons of booze no matter what you do. I have taken the litre bottles of store bought iced tea, drank the tea and replaced with dark liquor, and then carried on. Incidentally, have one open iced tea with tea in it while boarding Clay |

I think it you're a big drinker -- there's no question, some of the land based resorts (like those in the Dominican Republic) that include drinks are a better value. -- - Lee Naw, he is a troll. Here is what he posted earlier: "My wife and I are not big boozers. Our suite minibar was stocked with a few soft drinks, mixers and a half dozen one ounce bottles of bourbon (2), gin (2), and vodka (2). This was included in the price of the suite." |

Thus spake "sheree" :
a friend is going on their first cruise in 15 yrs xmas week on royal caribbean out of miami. they couldn[t remember the name of the ship! maybe the jewel they think. anyway, he wants to bring JD on board and is trying to learn the best way to do so. in big suitcases, bubble wrap, ziploc etc (they can pack it after their flight) or the carryon luggage. he just doesn't want a 1k bar bill at the end of the week (and that's possible with only JD and various vodka drinks) they're not cheap and are already spending a small fortune on cruise (family of 5, 2 cabins, flights etc) and excursions and has no problemw ith wine in the dining room etc but hates the idea of $5-7 for a drink on his balcony. not sure how RCI is about this type of thing thanks sheree Theoretically (read the contract), RCI can take the booze out of a suitcase or carry on and return it at the end of the cruise. They reserve the right to inspect any liquid you bring on board. Practice can be a different story, entirely. Pack it in bubble wrap, put that in a large sealed plastic bag and wrap the whole thing in a towel. I personally advocate putting the bottle next to one of the hard edges of a soft sided suitcase, others say the middle. But be prepared to "lose" it. Just in case. -- dillon When I was a kid, I used to think the horse's name was Bob |

I don't drink nowadays but it former days it would have
occurred to me that if the JD came in a wine bottle and the bottle were sealed.......there would be less attention called to it. It would be just as a bottle of fine wine for a special occasion. sheree wrote: a friend is going on their first cruise in 15 yrs xmas week on royal caribbean out of miami. they couldn[t remember the name of the ship! maybe the jewel they think. anyway, he wants to bring JD on board and is trying to learn the best way to do so. in big suitcases, bubble wrap, ziploc etc (they can pack it after their flight) or the carryon luggage. he just doesn't want a 1k bar bill at the end of the week (and that's possible with only JD and various vodka drinks) they're not cheap and are already spending a small fortune on cruise (family of 5, 2 cabins, flights etc) and excursions and has no problemw ith wine in the dining room etc but hates the idea of $5-7 for a drink on his balcony. not sure how RCI is about this type of thing thanks sheree |
